Mountpoint-S3 Alternatives: POSIX-Compatible, High-Performance S3 for Linux and Serverless in AWS

Mountpoint-S3 Alternatives: POSIX-Compatible, High-Performance S3 for Linux and Serverless in AWS

Mountpoint for Amazon S3 connects AWS S3 buckets to Linux filesystems. While intended to bridge the gap between object storage and filesystems (and Kubernetes using a CSI driver), it has several downsides that cause problems for developers: it has limited POSIX compatibility, limited directory handling and file editing, and inconsistent file writing behavior. This article …

Affordable and Fast: S3 is Now the Best Place to Process your FFmpeg Data

Affordable and Fast: S3 is Now the Best Place to Process your FFmpeg Data

Most companies that use FFmpeg and store their data in object storage (such as S3, Azure, Google Cloud, or on-premises solutions like MinIO) stage their data to a filesystem, then run FFmpeg on it there, and finally upload the result back into object storage. This is because FFmpeg requires POSIX file access, and existing POSIX …
